Unlike their brethren in the Dragontooth Island resource dungeon who freeze time after being in prolonged combat, the celestial dragons here reverse time instead after performing three auto-attacks. While in time reversal, the dragons will heal for rapid hits of 2,400 health per tick, which can be halted by stunning them. Like most dragons, they are susceptible to the Dragon Slayer perk and dragonbane ammunition.

In Story mode its health is reduced by 50% and its damage output is reduced by 66%.
